Personally the only jersey that I think should be retired is Pooh's because this franchise is shit!

BUT... should Taylor be forced to give Garnett part ownership of the team? There's so much we don't know about that angle. Is Garnett capable of buying in right now...

Taylor can do what he wants with his money and his mouth. I think that is the problem. Both Taylor and Garnett operate in realities I dont really relate to. But the power dynamic clearly leans Taylor here. I would think someone with class and business acumen could figure this situation out. The evidence seems to show that Taylor cant with regards to Garnett. To me, its not as much about who has done what in this situation but who has the power to make it right. I think the answer will always be that the owners have the most power. The solution doesnt have to be monetary, but I have no sense that Taylor even ever thought it was wrong that he ripped Garnett on his way out.

Taylor couldn't talk to KG about ownership until he was retired. That's simply fact. The Wolves paid him that season and got nothing for him. Ultimately some of KG if he is upset about how that went down...it's simply on him. Glen also has to pay for his past with KG and quite honestly does anyone really think KG would have had his jersey retired before Glen wasn't the owner anyway? Flip tried to bring it all together and when he was gone it was worse but it was a problem before too. I doubt Thins and Layden helped...or were in a much of a position to help.
